There are plenty to follow our Lord half-way, but not the other half. They will give up possessions, friends and honors, but it touches them to closely to disown themselves.

I do not find God outside myself or conceive him except as my own and in me.

The man who has submitted his will and purposes entirely to God, carries God with him in all his works and in all circumstances.

God is like a person who clears his throat while hiding and so gives himself away. God lies in wait for us with nothing so much as love.

God is in all things, but so far as God is Divine and so far as He is rational, God is nowhere so properly as in the soul - in the innermost of the soul

In this breaking-through, I receive that God and I are one. Then I am what I was, and then I neither diminish nor increase, for I am then an immovable cause that moves all things.

Wisdom consists in doing the next think you have to do, doing it with your whole heart, and finding delight in doing it.
